Lisbon Day #3

Another great day in Lisbon!

The highlight? A trip to the Gulbenkian.

On his death Calouste Gulbenkian left his, not inconsiderable, art collection to the city which had treated him well as a poor immigrant many years before.

A foundation was created in 1956 which saw the housing of the 6000 pieces amassed by the oil billionaire in his lifetime and the Portuguese collection of modern art on the same site.

The highlight for me was the Rene Lalique collection, staggering in it's beauty, if a little difficult to photograph.
